The use of “reb” and “slavers” and calling modern people “confederate” gives the game away. That war is over and we should all get over it and admire people on both sides. There is much to admire. I do believe southerners feel their heritage is being erased by idiots who know nothing of American history (that’s you, Nikki Haley). In that, I have deep sympathy. I hope people here have family who fought on the Union side. I suspect that some of them don’t and actually have very little connection to that time. My family, typically, were unusual, being Copperheads from NYC. But as tenuous as it is, I feel a strong connection to that war and the Union side of the argument.

Always nice to talk to you.

Oh, and I love people who accuse those who admire RE Lee of not knowing the Army of Northern Virginia lost Gettysburg!
